<p>A cache-compatible WordPress plugin which converts all prices of the currency of<br />
your choice in a post or page in the viewer’s local currency. LocalMoney relies<br />
on the WP-cron system to fetch and cache the rates from<br />
<a href="http://openexchangerates.org" title="The openexchangerates.org site" rel="nofollow ugc">Open Exchange Rates</a><br />
on an hourly basis and then uses javascript to lookup the visitor’s location and<br />
fetch the appropriate rate data. This means that, unlike some plugins I could mention,<br />
LocalMoney is compatible with caching plugins.</p>
<p>LocalMoney, once configured, immediately (or as soon as your cache updates) acts<br />
on all your posts and pages without you having to mark up the prices in your text.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ol>
<li>Determines the reader’s country via IP address, using IP2C</li>
<li>Resolves proxies with the ‘forwarded-for’ header so AOL-compatible</li>
<li>If IP2C fails uses the language settings and timezone offset to guess location</li>
<li>Obtains exchange rates from openexchangerates.org</li>
<li>Uses AJAX so that converting currency values doesn’t delay page load times</li>
<li>Caches exchange rates locally to minimize calls to openexchangerates.org</li>
<li>Output prices matched to format of input prices (i.e. with or without cents)</li>
</ol>
<h4>How to Use</h4>
<p>Once LocalMoney is installed it will take any page on which US dollar prices are<br />
displayed and convert them to the visitors local currency. If your posts are written<br />
with another currency you can change the base currency in the Settings > LocalMoney<br />
page.</p>
<h3>Internationalization (i18n)</h3>
